Facebook, Orkut and Twitter, these are the things that must have popped up in your head when you read the word “LOGOUT”, above. Right?
Well, that’s why I’ll say social networking has conquered the second decade of 21st century and has hypnotized not only us; but also our elders to some extent.
Once I saw a movie directed by Nupur Asthana’s “Mujhse Fraaanship Karogi”, a typical Bollywood movie, inspired by Facebook. The story in the entire movie revolves around chatting between a guy and a girl thinking themselves as “Made for each other”. Or what you call as “Lovers”. They start dating without knowing each other, and in the end they came to know that both of them were not the people they were talking too.
Well, I am not here to make you aware of the script, but the movie subjected me to think upon it. It made me stand in a mutilated situation.
Most of us are a part of social networking, but the question is that how much true we are on it?
We go dumb against such questions.
We have unknown friends over there, we talk with them, moreover, we flirt with them.
I never said that it’s always noisome to know about the unknowns, but up to what extent?
This screening is making me het up.
We are liars on the networking. We are frauds upon it. No one can detain these statements. Maybe these words are not enough to describe the teens or the late teens of present eon, but it’s the sour truth. We are doing all these things just because no one is there to obstruct us. We are doing all those bunkum deeds which our forefathers pulled us from. It’s a gory situation.
Why can’t we inhibit ourselves from logging in when we have a net connected gadget before us?
Why have we converted it into necessity from a need?
We are in an era where we can live without food but not networking, where we can make compromise with our study but again! Not with networking.
Folks! Networking is itself defined as a trap, and is best to its meaning.
I would like to add, the safety pro forma here. It was the April 2012, when a girl who belonged to a well-to-do family in Vadodra, Gujrat, lodged a complaint about the harassing calls she was getting from unknown people asking her to sleep with. Later on during investigation, it was found that someone had uploaded her cell number with her objectionable pictures on Facebook. More lately, the culprit was arrested.
And my dear readers, you will never believe, the delinquent was none other than her friend…!!
If our known one can do this, than what about the unknown ones. It may be worse than this. Isn’t it?
But guys, what can be worse than a girl losing her dignity. It was all about the fake friend. It ragged that girl from inside down. She had a nervous breakdown and it will be difficult for her to gather her confidence back. On one hand we sing “Jo tera hai vo mera hai” while simultaneously we are setting such paragon for our successors.
Maybe, you will forget this incident after the moment you read it. But only for once you put yourself into that girl’s place. Then also it will be tough to realize. Whatever happened could happen with me, you or the one next to us.
Some wounds can be cured by sedatives while some could only be healed by time, but these sorts of wounds are exceptions.
This incident questions our safety and security on the wide world web.
Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam said, “Youths are the back bone of nation, as they are its future”.
I wonder what our future is. Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus or something like that.
It’s not like that, that networking is having only bad aspects.
There are always two faces of a coin.
It was the second face above.
To first face you all are very well aware.
It is a gnome in Sanskrit that “अति सर्वत्र वर्जयेत्” means “excess is harmful everywhere”.
So, have gossips with your friends, on networking, make your own boundaries there, for,
What to upload and what to not,
Whom to talk with and whom with not,
Whom with be a friend and whom with not,
Who should see your photographs and who should not.
Be aware of privacy policies of social sites after all Prevention is better than cure and it’s the question of your own whole life.
So, it is not actually too hard to be logged away from it, but be logged in, in limit.
Enjoy surfing.
